Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8204445A1] Process for plating gold on metal surfaces electrically attached to a compound semiconductor. The process involves a photoactivated electrochemical reaction where the reaction takes place only where light is present. The procedure is particularly valuable where gold (18) is to be in small holes (17) or crevices in semiconductor structure (13) since electroplating on the semiconductor surface is avoided. The process is useful for providing low inductance electrical connection to various parts of semiconductor devices such as to the source in gallium arsenide field-effect transistors.
